The only notable resident boarder is Billy Bones, who recites his seafaring tales to other patrons over dinner. The Admiral Benbow's fare includes suckling potatos (no offense). Following the death of Billy Bones, the inn is besieged by pirates in search of the map. Jim, Gonzo, and Rizzo soon depart, leaving the defense of the inn in Mrs. Bluveridge's capable hands.

The original Admiral Benbow Inn, which Robert Louis Stevenson based the story on, can be found on Chapel Street, in Penzance, Cornwall, England.
